Thank you a lot for the help you have been giving to me. I havea question. Which are the differences between naniwa chooseraand naniwa super stones? Advantages and disadvantages? Can Isharpen VG-10 with super stones?

The Naniwa Superstones are softer and they will work well onvg10 knives. The Choseras are bigger, they're harder and the lastlonger but they're more money. Also the superstones are splashand go stones that don't need any soaking. The choseras need abouta 10 minute soak.

The make up of the stones is very different.The Choseras have way more abrasives in them & the matrix is very different from the superstones.I'm personalyl not a big fan of the superstones, but they do have one great thing going fopr them.Them polish like there is no tomorrow. The shine of a 5K is almost pure mirror & at 8K you outbeat the shine of anything.Also their softness makes them kind of forgiving.

However, with their relatively slow speed & tendency to clog/glaze, I wouldn't recommend them for high alloy steels.VG-10 however isn't that hard to grind & you should do fine with them superstones.

Bottom line is, for me even if it's the same manufacturer the supers & the choseras are entirely different beast, the difference is way bigger then for example the difference between Shapton Pro & Glass.
